Did the doctor recomend this? Is there training involved in it's use? I only ask that as I have had mixed luck with ultrasound in treating huge sicatica flairs. Some days it was pure heaven and other days when the pain was beyond words, the lowest setting brought me up off the PT table. I have experienced the same with e-stim.

This was one of the reasons I was reluctant to try the scs again. As it turned out, I was in dreadful shape when they did the trial and the darn thing eliminated ALL of the neuropathy. I still haven't gotten over that.

As doc recomended, research what you can find on this site. This place is loaded with experience, wisdom and genuine concern. I am also really interested what your husband's doctor thinks about it. If he has a physical therapist, I would be interested in that person's input. Take care and PLEASE keep us posted on what you find out. Best wishes.
